Jacob Holmes announces his retirement
Many NBL players drift off into retirement without a topic to acknowledge that, which is a shame.
JACOB Holmes is about to become so busy, retiring from life as a fulltime professional basketballer makes considerably more sense than continuing.Moving basketball forward is elementary for Holmes, who may still be shy but never retiring
It's not as if the 407-NBL games veteran, Adelaide 36ers championship-winner, past Boomer and multiple individual award-winner has anything left to prove on the court.
But there is a huge amount he can do off it to help provide for its growth, wealth and wellbeing and as president of the NBL Players Association, is uniquely positioned to do it, too.
First, the NBLPA is about to disappear, to be replaced by a far more relevant Australian Basketballers Association which not only will look out for the interests of NBL players, but also the WNBL, Opals, Boomers and even those Aussies playing abroad.
Retiring Jacob still on the rise
400+ games is a very solid career. Plus, at ABL level, he was a stat-machine.
